Squeaky Clean Laundry Riddles for Kids

Kid's love jokes and riddles, even those about laundry. Here are some punny riddles from the clothesline (or closet) that kids of all ages will enjoy.

Why Joke Around About Laundry?

The perfect time to introduce kids to the concept of doing laundry is when they are young and eager to do everything that Mom and Dad are doing. Children as young as eighteen months can help by separating socks or finding all the red items or putting clothes in the right room.

As a child gets older, he or she can do more and more tasks that include laundry. You can reinforce those skills by reading books to toddlers that have a laundry theme or selecting books for early readers that illustrate that laundry is a part of everyone's life. And, of course there are plenty of laundry themed toys for boys and girls.

Get the discussion rolling by teaching your children these riddles. They are perfect to tuck in a lunch box for a child to enjoy at lunch and share with friends.
